Accident Alert System Using IoT

Abstract

As technology has developed so has our methods of interacting with them. The system proposed during this paper is to detect the accident of user/person at anytime from anywhere in world. Accident threatens human lives more. Road accidents are common today. Accident Alert System (AAS) is utterly a completely unique research area. So as to avoid such collisions we’ve got designed the system called “Accident alert system using IoT”. This project presents localization system using GPS and SMS services. Many lives could have are saved if the desired attention was given at the time of need. With the assistance of this technique, the desired attention may be given to the victims by alerting the victim’s members of family, colleagues and friends. This technique helps to locate the victim and track him down. If the vehicle is stolen or misplaced then the system helps us to seek out the vehicle using GPS. The placement of the victim is transmitted to the dear ones by using GSM technology. Together with the notification as a SMS, the location at which the accident is taken place is shared using the Google maps link. Various different technologies like GSM, GPS, and switch sensor have been used for designing such system. During this report, a number of this method are discussed and revived so as to focus on their advantages, disadvantages and future scope. Accident alert system main aim is to rescuing people in accidents. Also tracking a vehicle just in case of any theft has become a tricky job. This method aims to alert the near and dear ones of the person within the vehicle about the accident to produce immediate treatment. During this system when a vehicle meets with and accident immediately impact sensor will detect the signal and send it to Arduino (atmega328p). Immediately microcontroller sends the signal to GPS module to convey the precise geographical location.
